Script – Cathy & Brent’s Wedding Ceremony
Brent:
I take you Cathy, this day I take you as my wife and forever as my partner in crime.
I promise to support your dreams, even the crazy ones, and to be by your side through every twist, every laugh, and every tear of life.
I promise to love you tenderly and desire you passionately.
I promise to be your best friend, your soulmate, and to always love you.
Cathy:
I take you, Brent, this day as my husband and forever as my partner in crime.
I promise to support your dreams, even the craziest ones, and there will be crazy ones.
And to be by your side through every twist, every laugh, and every tear of life.
I promise to love you tenderly and to love you passionately.
I promise to be your best friend, your soulmate, and to always love you.
Officiant:
And with these words spoken, Cathy and Brent could your pledge be to one another, to respect each other, and to love each other through the years, no matter what you may encounter together.
Do you now declare that this love will be your only love, and will you make your home in each other’s hearts from this day forward? If so, please say ‘we will’.
Cathy and Brent:
We will.
Officiant:
Love isn’t always perfect it is not always a fairy tale or a storybook, and it does not always come easily.
Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on, and never letting go.
It is a small word, easy to say, difficult to define, and impossible to live without.
Love is work. And most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, and every second was worth it, because you did it together.
Now we will proceed with the rings.
The wedding ring is traditionally a symbol of the circle of love, which has no beginning and no end. It reminds us of the sacred bond of marriage and the love that exists within it.
Cathy and Brent your rings mean the reason to remember to honour and treasure the vows you have made today. By exchanging rings, you renew these living vows and turn them into sacred promises. Believe and trust that the words you have spoken have the capacity to create a marriage, a family, and a life of your dreams.
Now I would like to invite Tracy to present the rings.
Brent:
Cathy, I give you this ring as a symbol of our marriage and a lasting reminder of the vows made between us today.
I give you this ring as a reminder that I will love, honour, and cherish you at all times and in all places.
Cathy:
Brent, I give you this ring as a symbol of our marriage and a lasting reminder of the vows made between us today.
I give you this ring as a reminder that I will love, honour, and cherish you at all times, in all places, and in all the days of our lives.
Officiant:
Now this marks the beginning of a beautiful journey together. Wear these rings proudly as a symbol of the love you both share.
We will now continue with the unity sand ceremony.
Cathy and Brent, today you join your separate lives together. You will notice on the table before you two cups of sand, symbolizing your separate lives, your separate families, and your separate circles of friends. They represent all that you are as individuals.
As these two containers of sand are poured into one container, the individual grains can no longer be separated. In the same way, your lives are now joined together as one.
May your marriage always reflect this unity.
(Unity Sand Ceremony)
Officiant:
Dear friends and family, we will now take a brief moment to sign the ceremonial certificate. I would like to invite Kelly and Mick to join us.
(Signing of Certificate)
Officiant:
Cathy and Brent, now that you are married, may you always share open and honest communication with each other.
May you respect each other’s individual talents and gifts.
May your life together be joyful and content.
May your love be as bright as the stars, warm as the sun, accepting as the ocean, and enduring as the mountains.
May serenity, happiness, and companionship be your constant companions.
And now, from this beautiful place, it is my honour as your officiant to pronounce you husband and wife.
Brent, you may kiss your bride.
Officiant:
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Rahn!
(Exit music, applause and cheers)
